Samsung pulls the emergency brake: ChatGPT is too dangerous
In a recent internal memo, Samsung has banned its employees from using ChatGPT, a powerful AI platform. The company justifies the step with the risk that sensitive data could be accidentally passed on to the AI, which poses security risks. Employees who do not comply with the new rules may face consequences, including possible dismissal.
WhatsApp: This new feature makes GIFs better
WhatsApp plans to make using GIFs in the app even easier and more user-friendly. In the future, GIFs should be played automatically without the recipient having to click on them first. This innovation will make sharing funny moments and emotions in chats even more seamless and entertaining.
Google announces the Pixel Fold
The rumors have been confirmed: Google will unveil its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold, during a special event next week. Although there are no exact specifications yet, Google has published a landing page confirming May 10, 2023 as the official launch date. A short video on the page also shows a smartphone that can be opened similarly to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. It remains to be seen what other features and specifications the Pixel Fold will offer and how it will position itself compared to the competition.
Google without password
In a game-changer, Google has announced that its users can now switch to passkeys and completely eliminate their passwords and two-step verification codes when signing in. This decision makes the login process for Google services more secure and user-friendly because passkeys are harder to crack than traditional passwords and users no longer have to enter verification codes.
